How can I stop getting people to call me a "sl*ut"?
Bullies from my old school yell that out at me everytime I see them out in public. Its been two years and I feel unsafe and self-conscious everytime I go out alone. I'm 17 and I've never been with a guy, been kissed or stolen someones boyfriend. I wear nice clothes that dont show much skin and i have boundaries, so I would never flirt with someone that is taken, or with a friends ex. I'm so sick of being yelled at and abused. I never reported it at the time, because no-one ever took me seriously, but I wish I could move on, but they just won't let me. What should I do?

Sorry if I've asked a similar question recently, its just that none of them are showing up!

I have a feeling that the guys telling you this for so long has to really bother you, but honestly, what do they know? If you are not one, let your actions prove them wrong. Your 17 and should be getting out of school soon and those losers will be garbage men or working some 3rd rate job. Coping with this is constantly telling yourself that these people have nothing better to do and that if they are telling you this to irritate you, then they have the biggest problem. They feel small inside, so they have to take out their frustration on others. Unfortunately, we have no control over people's actions but we do have control over ours. i would completely ignore them no matter how long they bother you. If you respond to them, you will be giving a bully what they want.
On the flip side, take an inventory of your actions to make sure you not being flurty. Hopefully things will get better
